How To Ring A Bell
By Jake
You think the simple machine project is simple, WRONG! What it is, is taking a simple activity, for example, peeling a banana. Then you "simply" make it hard. I chose to "simply" ring a bell. You all know how to ring a bell, don’t you? Well, I’m going to show you a new way, a new and magnificent way. Now I’m going to tell you the steps so you can make this so called "simple" machine and know how to ring a bell another way. First you open a clothespin and insert a marble, then squeeze the clothespin and let the marble come out. Then the marble falls onto a ramp and starts to roll down. Next the marble falls into the funnel and hits the lever. The marble makes the lever push down which makes the other end go up and ring the bell. The marble is now off the lever so the end of the lever that hit the bell is weighted so now that end is heavy and falls down.
